[HECnet] SIMH experience?

[Bill Cunningham]

You know I personally, like the versions kept up at simh's website. I 
couldn't figure out how to get my license working on the "master" 
version, so I have the latest from https://simh.trailing-edge.com if 
that's the right URL. You simply create the ISO mount it and change some 
attribs and install the license.
